If all it does is install the .deb's that you've already got, then there's
not much it can do to NOT comply with the debian rules, as the rules are
built in to the packages. I've looked at this tool a little bit, however,
and I don't think it is really all that useful. There's a lot of stuff it
can't do that is standard functionality in dselect. Basically, Kpackage
seems like it's nothing more than a replacement for typing 'dpkg -i
xxxx.deb'. IIRC, it can't automatically download stuff for you, and it
can't look at Package.gz files to get a list of all the package files that
live in a directory. Maybe this has changed for the the release 1.0
(woohoo!) of KDE.
noah
